Re: Should Associates wear their usual clothing, not hi-viz, for training?
When I was using a bike on a regular basis (some 20 yrs ago) I had a car turning right in front of me at night. They stopped short of the turn and said they hadn't seen me, as I was lost in the headlights behind me. After that I always used a Sam Brown reflective belt ag all times. Still here!

Absolutely everything, the sooner the better to learn the controls without spending weeks on the road with an instructor. Ok a lot to learn when on the road but at least one could use the controls safely!!

Re: 20 limits - 'the facts'...
Time to scrap all the speedhumps then
What does the evidence say about traffic moving from 20mph roads to 30mph roads to skew the stats?[/quote]

Intimidating the ones in front? rubbish it lets them know you are perhaps intending to overtake, also how else can you see safely past to assess if the overtake is on or not. If he is an example of driving instructors in general, then...
